Pike's Mozilla Firefox Extensions

brian,

You're giving far too much credit to this extension it is just a simple counter nothing more. The popup icon is built into Firefox, I believe the reason the icon disappears is that the site redirects immediately after showing the popup. This makes Firefox think you have gone to a different site and so it removes the popup icon.

that makes sense. Perhaps you might want to think of extending the extension to cover this it would be fantastic!

I got used to the Google bar in IE making a clicking sound every time a pop-up was block. Just one for the suggestion list.

Thx.

a question, can you add an option to always show the popup count, when I had IE with Google Toolbar it was always fun braggin to friends like, hah, I blocked 6667 popups in the last 3 months. Now i can't unless I visit a site like popuptest

an option to always have the popup count displayed would be awesome :)

Do you have a version that runs on Mozilla 1.7? Was running Firefox 0.9, but it could not display some pages I regularly use.

Andrew,

No my extensions are Firefox only.

Firefox 0.9 uses the same rendering engine as Mozilla 1.7 so I'm not sure how changing browsers could make a difference, did you try a new profile?

Sorry, I may be being stupid, but how do I see the total number of popups blocked all time? It says something about a tooltip - what do I type/where do I look?

Thanks

Forget it - have fixed it now.

Thanks - nice extension.

Here's something I figured out so far, put this into your UserChrome.css, replace the url(*.png) with whatever icon you want for your popup blocker. Unfortunately, I don't know how to make it call the all time stats yet :(

#page-report-button {
display: -moz-box !important;
list-style-image: url(popup-unblocked.png) !important;
padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px !important;
}

#page-report-button[blocked] {
display: -moz-box !important;
list-style-image: url(popup-blocked.png) !important;
padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px !important;
}

[Edited to match what we finally settled on - Pike]

Wow i'm sorry for the spam don't know how that happened :(

Anyway here's another extra tweak for the above

Open the popupcount.jar file (search if you can't find it)

Go to content/popupcount/popupcountOverlay.xul

Change :

"margin: 0; padding: 1 1 3px 3px"

To :

"margin: 0; padding: 3px 3px 3px 3px"

[This step is no longer necessary see the previous comment - Pike]

I would like to see Popup Count add a context menu listing each of the popup window titles, and allow the user to individually select a window they wish to open, or select "Open All Blocked Popups".

Raccoon,

That would mean all the popups would have to be downloaded so that their titles could be read. I don't think the pros outweigh the cons of doing that.

u rock Pike! thanks for making it always display :)

Can you make an updated test version of Popup Count for the Firefox nightly build? It works well but has a conflict with the Popup block icon and the status bar. Seems like 2 Popup block icons are shown (one for popup block option, the other is Popup count - doesn't show number but only in bubble) and this messed up the status bar. They've changed the position of the Popup block icon to the right (not left).

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040714 Firefox/0.9.1+

Gross,

Could you try installing the latest version from this page and let me know if it makes any differenece? Thanks.

No double icon anymore but the popup count can be seen on the status bar including the total number of popup blocked. Even when there is no popup, it display the number 0.

Pike, i remember using this on Firefox 0.8, then it showed the icon with the 'i' letter.
but . on 0.9 it doesn't show it. i've just installed it from this site.
it shows on the bottom left of the status bar and icon with an 'x', which i think is from firefox.

any help?

p.s. when i will be able to use it, could you tell me how can i change the icon that displays there?
i want to use another icon :)

thanks.
Great job on the other extensions btw.
bookmark backup is a must for me ;)

Gross,

I'll fix this properly sometime in the next week or two in the meantime see my workaround here:

jeton,

So it doesn't show numbers at all? I don't know why that is, do you have any other extensions installed that might conflict with Popup Count?

To change the icon you could replace the file called Info.png in the Firefox/chrome/classic.jar or you could add an extry to your userChrome.css file, something like:

#page-report-button {list-style-image: <nameoffile> !important;}

I think jeton's problem is an theme conflict. I've found that the reason for many of my status bar icons not appearing at all.

I personally use Noia's 2.0 (eXtreme) 2.7 theme. Now, it finally shows the Update icon but still not the Livemark icon. :(
